Sleepy time...


Isn't it the best? But now I find myself wondering what to do...I have PLENTY that I could be doing, but do I want to, no, not really.


We went to the doctor yesterday. Hudson gained 1 1/2 lbs in the last week. It is no wonder that he is looking more chubby and wants to eat every 2 hours, on the dot! He appears to be super heathly and the doctor just had me start him on Vitamins. Boy, do they smell nasty!! Poor buddy has to actually taste them.


I am getting the pictures from our friend Cheyenne today...I a so excited and can't wait to share.
Back to my idle time...maybe I should sleep.

Start again...

So, I have decided to start my blog again, but not sue how long that will last. I love the idea that I can share new things that happen with my son...we shall see if I can fit it in between feeding and tending to Hudson, ding my Biology and Sociology homework, and basically running a household. :-)

Hudson was born on August 27 2009 @ 6:18 p.m. I was in labor all night long and he finally made his appearance late that day - but not without complications - Hudson decided to turn his head midway through labor, and POOF! my contractions ceased. A little sprinkle of Pitocin (which I was not happy with considering I wanted drug free births) and a few crazy positions on my part, we were back in business and an hour and half later, Hudson showed up.

He is such a good baby, I think to myself that this is way too easy. The doctor check ups come with nothing...there are no strange things that I have to watch...and the crying, well, it only exists if he is super tired! So strange...Babies are truly a miracle.

On September 1st, we took Hudson for his first visit to Gavin's park...he slept the entire time. I feel so torn between happy and sad. I want Hudson to know his older brother and know that he will one day, but until then, I will have to fill him in on the details of how wonderful Gavin is.

Yesterday, a friend of Kelly's came and took pictures of our miracle. I am so excited to get them and share with others, I couldn't be prouder!

Sunday in the Cold

It is a Sunday evening in cold Utah...and I actually was thinking about moving back here...NOT! Too cold and unpredictable. Had a great family get-together dinner and I have decided that I am not sure that I have enough going on in my life right now that is even remotely interesting to blog. Maybe it might get interesting when the baby boy comes along, who knows.
I can't blog about my favorite fashion profession because I just read it is now against the rules...so weird, but whatever is all I can say. My salon business is not really exciting to blog about except for all the crazy girls I work with, and well, that is just a whole other story, which would take too long to even start.

So I think I will break from blogging for now...unless something interesting happens...like we have a baby or something!!

Do I look okay?

Hilarous!! I just went to an "interview" for a part-time job, while I get my CAbi business moving forward as well as my business at the salon, at Department Store in their cosmetic department. The "interview" was scheduled for 11:00 a.m....well, I arrived promptly 5 minutes before (filled out the application online) and was escorted into a room where there were already 2 other people waiting. Is this a group interview, I thought? I almost felt like I was trying out for the Apprentice again but without waking up at 5 a.m. and standing in line for 4 hours.
The "interviewer" came in and began to explain the process. We were to tell her our name, one word that describes us, and our availability. Hmmmm...easy enough. When we were done with that, the interviewer said that she had already printed out our applications and she was now going to go in the other room to see if she had any matches for us. So we wait...called out one by one and alas, I got a "second interview" and was out of there at 11:15 a.m. sharp.

Okay, where they "screening" me in a way that was politicially correct? It sure felt like it...guess I still look okay in my old age.
:-)

Went to the second "interview" where they proceeded to interview me and another girl on the department sales floor...asked a few questions and then the hiring manager took me back in her office and told me she had a part-time poistion open with one of her counters. She also then said that because I have management background, I may be more interested in a managers position and referred me over to another store. Now I have an "interview" today (yes on Sunday, my only none makeup day) with this store. Argh...very interesting process. Or quite entertaining. I guess I am just used to being grilled for my executive positions that I apply for, so this was cake!

Sunny Monday

It is so beautiful here today! I hear that Utah (my home town) had another snow storm and I feel so bad that I am sitting here in mid-70's weather! Okay, maybe not that bad. K made it home from training in Kernville without a scratch, thank goodness, and we are headed into the new week. We have our BIG ultra sound next week Tuesday. See if the baby is growing right and hopefully will be able to determine the gender! More to come!!

Glad it is a sunny day!!


So we made it through the weekend, but not without the help and support of our wonderful friends and family. We could have not done it without you, so THANK YOU!! We are now completely exhausted, but are moving forward with the week and will find joy in each new day!

4 months and counting...Tomorrow is Kelly and Gavin's birthday. It would be Gavin's 1st...we are planning on having lunch at "Gavin's Park" and then have friends and family over for a celebration of Kelly's birthday. It will be nice to have so many people around, helping us through this.

I am starting my BLOG

So, here I am...I am finally setting up the blog that everyone has bugged me to do...not sure if I am doing it right, but I am slowly figuring this out. I am sure if I ask my neighbor's kids (who are 8 & 10) they could show me how. :-) Hah!

So we are pregnant again...as my dad said, "wow, you sure are trusting..." but I am not sure if it is trust or just faith that we are going to be okay. We are 15 weeeks and due in September.
